Chapter 56: A Nostalgic Taste

The sorbet was so delicious and limited in quantity that he was reluctant to finish it too quickly.

Nowadays, there are many imitation sorbets on the street, but the taste is so far away that people don't like to eat it, even if it is sold very cheaply, people with status do not want to eat it.

The die-hard fans of Jiang Xiaoge's sorbet even beat away those who sold fake sorbet.

But no one knows where Brother Jiang went.

"Okay, Brother Wang, wait for two more days, and there will be no problem for you to remove this gauze." Prince Ruyi said as he washed his hands, wiped his hands clean, picked up the sorbet again, and sat down to savor it.

"After three days, ask Wang Kejian to go and tell you!" Shen Tuwen suddenly said this.

"Huh?!" Prince Ruyi panicked all of a sudden: "Brother Wang, I have already healed your injuries, why do you still have to trick me so much?" ”

This is not in line with Brother Wang's style.

"I just think you're too idle, as the prince of a country, you must not be idle like this." Shen Tu said solemnly.

In fact, what he thought in his heart was that Prince Ruyi actually dared to eat his limited amount of sorbet, and also tried to take half of it from him, so he was bound to teach this guy a lesson.

The people in Ling Tian City, especially the people of Shixiang Street, had just woken up from the Qixiang Pavilion's extermination case, and suddenly found that something was wrong.

Because they were looking forward to it during this time, the Jiang Xiaoge sorbet that was full of anticipation suddenly disappeared.

In the past, every morning, when the sun had just risen, the handsome little brother Jiang had already driven the carriage from outside the city into Shixiang Street.

Then with a smile on his face, he distributed the sorbet boxes to one store after another, whether it was listening to books or shopping, he habitually bought a ginger brother sorbet.

In this hot weather, you will feel happy like a fairy when you take a bite.

Although every time I buy sorbet, I have to worry about which flavor to buy, but this entanglement is also a sweet entanglement.

Now without the company of Brother Jiang's sorbet, they always feel that something is missing, and their hearts are empty.

Especially those greedy children, it is no exaggeration to say that they live by this sorbet every day.

Although some people have started to imitate it, the sorbets made are all difficult to eat, or they are hard and can't be bitten at all. Wait a little longer, and it will simply turn into water. And the taste is not right, or it is sweet and bitter. Either the fruit inside is sour, or it is mushy and has a bad taste.

Although children are very easy to deceive, their memories of eating are very profound, and the taste is not right, and they absolutely refuse to wronged themselves.

There are even a lot of die-hard fans of Jiang Xiaoge's sorbet, beating those imitators to the point that they don't dare to enter Shixiang Street again.

And those imitators, although their sorbet tastes wrong, the cost is not very low, so over time, they stop making money without making money.

But just when many people were sighing for the disappearance of Jiang Xiaoge's sorbet, a snack quietly spread from the slums.

Ginger bearded lo-mei has become the most popular delicacy on Coolie Street, and there are already many hawkers selling food on Coolie Street.

They either sell some fresh fruits or get some dried fruits such as melon seeds and walnuts to sell on the street, just like the Brother Yun who sells Sydney pears in "Water Margin".

At first, they only wholesaled some lo-mei from Jiang Jiang and wore it in thin bamboo strips, and sold it to the children of poor families in the surrounding area to satisfy their hunger.

In addition, the coolies on this street sometimes don't have time to eat, so they go to Jiang Jiang to ask for a piece of lo-mei and brine to take away.

Jiang Jiang asked Gou'er and Sun Xiaobei to pick a lot of fresh lotus leaves, and used lotus leaves to wrap the lo-mei, which is convenient and fast.

These coolies brought the lo-mei wrapped in lotus leaves to the place where they worked.

As you come and go, more people know. There are many people who don't live in Coolie Street, and they often ask people here to bring them lo-mei.

At first, it was only these inferior laborers who ate it, but then the overseers and contractors also smelled it and ate it, and then they all became addicted.

The overseers sometimes send errands to the coolie street to buy ginger bearded lo-mei.

The whole street is not like Jiang Jiang when they first arrived, because it is covered by the smell of lo-mei, and those who can't afford it can smell it.

Of course, the most affordable is Widow Mu's family, in the past, they often ate this meal without a meal, and they could only eat one thick meal a day at most.

But since Jiang Jiang and the others moved here, excluding the house money, the money that Widow Mu helped earn was as good as a middle-aged coolie, and even the dog could earn dozens of dollars a day, and he could also eat coarse noodles and brine water every day, which was already the highest standard of living in the entire coolie street.

Widow Mu's mother-in-law has been paralyzed in bed for many years, and the old lady is so thin that she only has a handful of bones left. But because of the oil and water in her stomach these days, the old lady has the strength to get off the kang by herself, and walk outside to bask in the sun by holding on to the wall.

Aunt Mu was busy that day, and while wiping her hands, she blushed and said to Jiang Jiang: "Boss Jiang, I have something I want to ask you." ”

"Say it, Aunt Mu." Jiang Jiang agreed.

"I heard you say that you have to hire someone to help you later," Aunt Mu said: "If you really want to hire someone, I have two people to introduce me, both of whom are honest and quick people." ”

With the expansion of business, there is really not enough manpower, so Jiang Jiang went to the blacksmith shop two days ago to customize two cauldrons.

Don't say that people on this street can eat three pots of lo-mei every day, even if they buy it outside, they have to consume two pots of lo-mei.

"I do want to hire someone, you have the right person to introduce me!" Jiang Jiang said, after all, Aunt Mu is more familiar with the people on the street.

"These two people are the young widow on the street and her daughter Lian'er," Aunt Mu said: "I am Lian'er's godmother, although the child is not very old, but she is diligent and willing to endure hardships, and her mother also said that if you hire them and their mothers, it is enough to give only one person's wages." ”

It is difficult for the poor to find work, especially for women. The strength is not strong enough, and it is not easy to show up. Usually just doing some pulp washing and sewing work is already their forte, but there are too many people who do this kind of work, and the income is often extremely meager.

That year, the widow and the mother had two sons, and they had depended on each other for their lives over the years, and because they had the same illness and pity with the widow Mu, the two families also recognized their godson. And because the children of the two families are about the same age, they also intend to get married, just because they are still young and difficult to say.

"Is that the Lian'er in the blue flower jacket?" Jiang Jiang asked, she was very impressed with this little girl, the main reason was because her name was very similar to Xu Lian'er.

"It's her, it's her," Aunt Mu nodded again and again: "Do you think it's okay?" ”

"What's wrong with this, you can call the two of them tomorrow, Aunt Nian's salary is the same as yours, and Lian'er's salary is the same as that of the dog."
